    Flag Underwear

    My missus took a pic of a Female USA Athelete at the Games in Inverness this year, I was surprised at her (my wife), as she is a USA Citizen, and is normally very strongly against misuse of her National Flag.
    On asking her why she wasn't angry, she says her underwear was cloth with a representation of the Flag, but did not constitute a Flag.
    I ran this past an old USA Marine chum of mine, and he agreed with her, it is in bad taste, but a Flag is a Flag and made as such.
    I would be interested in other views on this though, BTW, she was also as you will notice, wearing the USA tartan. My take - she not only disrespected her Flag, she direspected the kilt and her tartan - but most importantly, I think she disrespected herself.
    I see too much of this here in Scotland, when people who normally only don a kilt for a wedding or the fitba' make a mockery of the kilt when drunk. Anyway, thats my take, what's yours?
